Mwanzo 11
1 Wakati huo dunia yote ilikuwa na lugha moja na msemo mmoja.
And all the world was of one tonge and one language.
2 Watu walipoelekea upande wa mashariki, wakafika kwenye tambarare katika nchi ya Shinari nao wakaishi huko.
And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled.
3 Wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Njooni, tufyatue matofali na tuyachome vizuri kwa moto.” Walitumia matofali badala ya mawe, na lami kwa ajili ya kushikamanishia hayo matofali.
And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter
4 Ndipo wakasema, “Njooni, tujijengee mji wenye mnara ambao utafika hadi mbinguni, ili tujipatie jina tusije tukatawanyika usoni pa dunia yote.”
And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth.
5 Lakini Bwana akashuka ili auone mji na mnara ambao wanadamu waliokuwa wanaujenga.
And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded.
6 Bwana akasema, “Ikiwa kama taifa moja wanaozungumza lugha moja wameanza kufanya hili, basi hakuna lolote watakalopanga kufanya ambalo halitawezekana kwao.
And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do.
7 Njooni, tushuke tuvuruge lugha yao ili wasielewane wao kwa wao.”
Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth.
8 Hivyo Bwana akawatawanya kutoka mahali pale kwenda katika dunia yote, nao wakaacha kuujenga huo mji.
Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
9 Ndiyo maana pakaitwa Babeli, kwa sababu hapo ndipo Bwana alipoivuruga lugha ya dunia nzima. Kutoka hapo Bwana akawatawanya katika uso wa dunia yote.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
